"Bookmark" series Note that not all details are from the Chinese traditions, some things I tweaked for my liking or because that went better with some details in my story. Dragon 辰 5th in the cycle Their nature Yang 陽 Assigned with the element Wood 木 Current daimyou: Hishida Tatsuhiko 菱田瀧彦 Hours: 7AM-9AM Month: Sanaedzuki 早苗月 ("Month of Early Sprouts" - May) In my story people of the Dragon Clan are firce, proud and stubborn with a high spirit despite of their harsh living circumstances. Their territory lies high up in the Northern mountains with little no fields to harness. They rely much more on hunting for survival than any other clans - that probably explains their relatively bigger mass of body size as well. Since their domain touches only with the introverted Ox's they barely get in contact with the rest of the country - except for the adventurous Monkey merchants perhaps - so they are distrustful with strangers. They thought to be judgemental and often arrogant even but they can be childishly naive at the same time amazed by the wonders of the world. They value traditions but only if it complies to their needs. They throw them out the moment it is against their demands. They tend to be contradictive in many ways. Since they often hide their soft side behind misplaced pride very few know about their caring hearts. They are truely noble and self-sacrificing at their core. Their Mentor Youkai is the dragon, or so they believe... Little is known about those mythical beasts nowadays and their legends are a bit contradictory of their mentor youkai.
